Laptop chip burntout

hey just wondering
my firends laptop recently died
and he told me to take a look at it
so i opened it up and found out that 3 small black chips had burnt out
would it be possible to just replace those chips, n make the laptop work again?

You'll have to be more specific on what kind of "chips" they were. If you are really good with a soldering iron, you could probably replace them, but it might not be worth the effort - what brand/model laptop is it?

Dude, you're fucked. Even if you replace those chips, there's no way of knowing (until you turn it on) whether there's any other damage you can't see, or whether the event that caused the damage was a one-time thing or will happen again the next time he uses it.

Given the kind of catastrophic failure those chips suffered, I'm going to venture a very safe guess that there are other damaged components that you'd need an EE degree to locate and replace. Don't bother.
